The '''Harpy''' is an airborne Vex unit capable of maximum speed and versatility.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Harpy|Harpy]]''</ref>

==Overview==
Harpies fly rapidly in and out of combat. They must stop and stabilize before attacking, opening up their shells and revealing a writhing mass of filaments.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Vex#Harpy|Harpy]]''</ref><ref>'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 55''</ref> They are equipped with Harpy Slap Rifles which, as its name suggests, is a weapon exclusively for the Harpy.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard''</ref> In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', Harpies employ the usage of a beam weapon fired from their bodies instead of a [[Slap Rifle]]. The meaning behind this modification remains unknown.

==Gameplay==
Harpies are highly aggressive when fought, often dodging and maneuvering around gunfire. They tend to congregate around Guardians in order to overwhelm them, and are highly dangerous in numbers. Harpies in [[Destiny]] use Slap Rifles, while those in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' employ the [[Vex Laser Rifle]].

*Harpies, along with [[Hydra]]s, are the only Vex unit that cannot teleport.
*In ''Destiny 2'', [[Major]] Harpies have blue back tentacles, as opposed to their regular purple ones.
*Harpies are the smallest Vex unit but the most nimble with fast movement, a dodge maneuver, and a quicker spawn time than most other Vex troops.
*Harpies are among the only enemies not to have a [[Taken]] version.
